These Reckless Vows: The Billionaire's Bride HIM - ONE LAST TIME
Jaxon Pierce ~~~ Love. That wondrous feeling. That incredible joy. The only thing worth having. I’ve loved. I loved my mother, even when she chose my stepfather, and my father even when he didn’t choose me. I loved Hazel Levine and her red hair and green eyes how she trusted me even though she shouldn’t have. I loved Adrian Allard, the father I never had, the one who gave me my life’s purpose, my greatest love: Ava Jade Allard. And my God did I love her. She is beautiful. She is strong. She is smart and kind and all that crap I never said or allowed myself think. She’s perfection. I broke perfection. I didn’t think I would, even as I came to her wedding and shot her fiancé, none of this came to mind. My only thought was that she was beautiful, mine, and maybe being stolen from me. But maybe she was never mine. Even before the gunshot smashed into my head I knew it was over for me. She was kneeling there, looking at me with confidence I knew she could

Ava ~~~“HANDS IN THE AIR, EVERYONE!” the police yell.I hear them, but I don’t see them. The entire world has become a blur as I drop to my knees in front of Leonel.“No, no, no, no, no…” I say over and over. I pull his jacket apart, then his shirt. His chiseled chest remains free of blood, and I let out the biggest breath of air I ever have in my life.“The bastard got me in my shoulder,” he croaks, and raises his hand to caress my cheek. “I’m okay. It’s okay.”Still, his breathing is heavier than it’s ever been as he winces through the pain, and his grey eyes have dimmed.There’s nothing okay about this.I feel another person beside me and hear Bella’s voice, frantic for the first time in my whole life.“Leo!” she yells, sounding like a child. “Leo, oh my God.”“It’s a shoulder shot, mi corazón,” he says in that same pained tone. “I’ll be okay.”“Move.”Jaxon’s command makes my whole body still. I turn to Bella, but she hasn’t taken her eyes off Leonel. She’s looking at the gun w

Ava ~~~ Leonel jumps in front of me before I can scream.Many guests, just like me, are yelling, and many more are too shocked to make a noise, but in all this, no one runs for the exit. I think fear roots everyone to the spot.I look over Leonel’s shoulder to see Jaxon, holding a weapon in one hand and clenching his fist in the other. Around him, at least ten of Leonel’s security surround him with much bigger, much scarier guns.But it doesn’t matter how big those other guns are. It only takes one shot from Jaxon to change a life forever.“We have you surrounded, drop your weapon!” Kenzo barks. Jaxon cackles, a sound so cruel it curls my toes.“Do you really think I give a fuck what happens to me?” he asks the guards. “As long as I kill fucking Leonel Sinclair , I don’t care if I go down.”Maybe he truly has run mad. It could be because of how long he was locked up, or this could be him at his core.Either way, I’m in a stupid amount of danger.“Does anyone believe the bullshit t

Ava~~~~I didn’t think things would get worse when Genevieve left the wedding, but as life always reminds me, everything gets worse when you’re Ava Jade Allard.I look to my left to face a camera that has been pointed at me since all the drama started, and for the first time, I actually really look at myself:Red hair in a bun, soft makeup still done, my dress with a sweetheart neckline that is skin-tight down to my waist, then it flares into a ballgown.I would think I looked the best I ever have if not for how white my face is with fear.“Murderer,” I hear Madison say, or at least I think she does.Shocked, I spin to her, and sure enough, the meekness on her face has morphed into anger, into hatred.Into revenge.She’s glaring at Leonel, who is still heartbreakingly stoic. But he doesn’t shake at her accusation, only cocks his eyebrow.Madison moves closer to him, saying darkly, “I’m glad we broke up. Whatever the history between us is, I would never allow my child be raised by a k

Ava ~~~ The entire wedding is in an uproar. For the first time in my life, I watch a mic get shoved in Genevieve’s face, and she pushes it away aggressively. I’m sure she probably thinks if she avoids it enough she’ll escape the press, but she has to know there’s no way will happen. Madison, on the other hand, has no interest in not being on TV. She just wants to be there with her name cleared. “You must have started drugs.” She says softly to Leonel, her hand to her chest in fake worry, “It’s the-the-the only way you could ever come up with such a story.” Leonel smiles at her again, the same cruel, detached smile he began when he started “telling the truth”. My chest lurches each time I see it, because in a way it reminds me of the sickness in Jaxon. “Then why are you stuttering Madi?” He whispers, loud enough for everyone to hear, “Are you scared I’m going to ask you to do a paternity test?” “No!” She yells quickly, pulling Rafael closer to her chest. The guests d

Ava~~~Something is wrong.I can tell from the anger Leonel is radiating: all other emotion has drained out of him, and this is the Leonel I knew before I knew him at all, before I loved him.He looks from face to face, and whatever I’ve noticed is off about him, the guests seem to have caught on as well.They’ve gone from vultures trying to get as much information from him as they can to weak and fearful. Everyone Leonel has laid eyes on has cowered away.“Leone—” I start, but he looks at me with crushing annoyance.I step back, shocked. It’s not real. There’s no way in hell it’s real. He’s annoyed with me?“The truth,” he says sarcastically, his grey eyes still on me. I don’t like the way the words leave his lips, nor do I like the cruel smile that finds its way to him.He turns from me and looks back at his crowd of fearfully quiet guests. “Since I met Ava, you all act like you’re desperate for some hidden truth. It’s been scandal after scandal after scandal, and I just can’t tak
